Dragging my feet today...

Good morning!

I'm tired. The baby slept horribly last night. Up lots of times, not easy to get back to sleep... this is unusual for him. He usually sleeps from when we put him to bed at 7ish until 5 or 5:30am. Needless to say, a variation from that schedule makes for a very tired Mommy! But, while Daddy was sleeping in (grrr...) I played with the baby and then put him down for an early morning nap. Instead of trying to nap like I should have, I stamped. I guess that's a sign of a truly addicted stamper... when stamping is more important than a basic bodily need. :-)

Anyway, I finished up some small retirement gifts for my husband's co-workers. These were super easy. The cards are flat notes with matching envies that I found on clearance at Target, and I just stamped the flowers and sentiment at the bottom. So quick and so cute!

Then I had to play with my Whimsical Birthday Unity stamp kit again. The large images are so fantastic for watercoloring! I think I will be doing this layout again. I'm not sure you can tell, but I put glitter (stickles) on the streamers, polka-dots and at the ends of the banner.


I may try to sell some of my cards on Etsy. Who know if anyone will buy them, but I suppose it is worth a try! I'm off to figure it out...

Have a nice day!

Only a true stamp addict would forfeit a nap while baby was sleeping! Good for you LOL
